The answer

The owner is not entitled to burden the worker with a share of what he spent on cultivating the land. If the owner stipulates that the worker bears a portion of the financial loss, the contract is invalid, and the owner must pay the worker the wage of the like (اجرة المثل) for his work. The compensation received from the state belongs solely to the owner.
